TheCrypt

Crap! Ok, I officially now hate auto-correct.

Kings Island is part of Cedar Fair, and this board is about Kongs Island, is it not? I guess I should have added "and how many patents were filed for Cedar Fair's Kings Island?" or something to the effect.

You know what *I* think, Flying Eagles sound like a great addition to Coney Mall. But that may just be me.

But FUN could have easily put a trademark on the name Delirium. Browntiggrr, many of those trademarks are dead, and really, only 2 are Kings Island-specific trademarks: The Beast (trademarked under Paramount, by the way) and Kings Island. That's it. Also, apparently FUN still owns the rights to Nights of Fire. Why isn't the 4 of July week(end) called Nights of Fire? It's still a live patent.

Works for me now. Thanks, Titan.

Actually, some higher-up in Sandusky was the end of Son of Beast. I wish that ride was never associated with The Beast. Gave his daddy a bad name. EDIT: A 10-year revival, too! Folks, we got ourselves a new record!

Woah! FUN actually patented a name?! I can't remember seeing a little R by Diamondback or Delirium! In fact, the only one I see is on The Beast station signs. Typical Cedar Fair, always picking dem terrible names.

The Flying Eagles deserve much more than to be put into "Kiddy Land".

If this is indeed a multi-year Haunt, then we won't be seeing the building go anytime soon.

These are memories that you will cherish forever. When you look back, you'll always remember them fondly. Thank you for sharing your day with us, and I'm glad you had a great day at the park (and multiple fang-tastic rides on Diamondback )!

I won't lie, KIE's great, but it just kinda... Died due to a lack of fan base.

Wow... I really feel for the admins who run KIExtreme. 2 topics about the removal of Son of Beast, and, as of July 31, only 1 has a reply. Yup, 1 reply.

Woooooow. The 9 and biggest fail yet. I now understand what you mean. I did read that, but I guess I didn't register that... Oh well. You win this round, CoasterMan!

That's my point. Even though Shambhala and Diamondback are both B & M mega coasters, doesn't mean they're the same. Same goes with the Shockwave / King Cobra duo.

Well, that, and Shambhala looks to have a much more interesting layout versus Diamondback. I mean, have you seen that awesome turnaround?!

^^According to that line of argument, then Shambhala and Diamondback are te same.

Actually, once you stop on Invertigo, you count 1...2...3... DROP! The 3 with a little retardando. So I guess it's 4.5 to 5 seconds. Also, The Beast's spiel is "Remain seated throughout the entire ride, please keep hands and legs inside the car at all times... Remain seats throughout the entire ride, please keep hands and legs inside the car at all times. Thank you." Same way Backlot Stunt Coaster's is "Alright stunt team, listen up. As with any driving stunt, safety first, so STAY SEATED. Keep your head against the headrest and your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times. Secure all loose articles or leave them with the crew before we roll." For the record, Drop Tower is 7 seconds from the click, and I think Delirium's whooshes are awesome, as well, Wow. After typing those spiels from memory, I realized 2 things: 1. Nobody cares. 2. Everyone probably thinks I'm crazy now!

The layout is cool. I like that. But the location stinks, quite frankly. I guess one could call me an Adventure Express activist, but I will reiterate what I have stated in the past: No rides by Adventure Express! And while you're at it, plant some trees that will actually grow tall (unlike the few dogwoods we got in Rivertown) and plant them by the first tunnel so as to obstruct Drop Tower and our Skycoaster! What happened to our secluded Express?

I do agree, the old, faded paint of Invertigo does match Action Zone.

Actually, you can still get Arrow parts from S & S Arrow. S & S Power bought out Arrow Dynamics when they filed for the ominous Chapter 13, so Arrow still lives on and are able to make parts for their coasters made under their moniker. However, once the numbe of coasters diminish, I doubt they'll still make parts, or at least charge through the roof.

WHAT?! MORE TREES GONE BY FLIGHT DECK?! Noooo! Sorry. *ahem* I do hope they plan on saving these trees and replanting them (maybe around Diamondback's splashdown?). Flight Deck keeps losing its trees without new ones.

I can't miss The Crypt because that was a Cedar Fair creation. I miss it under the FUN reign. Paramount Parks only had the ride made under their control (which, is why it is no longer here, those cheap bastages). Can you miss Flight of Fear? No, because it is still there. Our current FoF looks way better than the last ears of Paramount's FoF. Do you understand? I know that probably is kind of a weird way of putting things, my thoughts are sometimes jumbled. EDIT: And how exactly was Tomb Raider: The Ride a Giant TopSpin, but The Crypt wasn't?

Leviathan and Behemoth supposedly offer much different ride experiences. I've heard raving reviews on CWMania.
